nobody argued about him in 2012. He was just a professor who uploaded his lectures to youtube.

Nobody cared untill 2017 when he blew up.

He got big during the US election. It spread from /pol/

>>11206532
This is the video that got him famous
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-nvNAcvUPE

Even /lit/ liked him back then because he just seemed to challenge "sjw" culture who pretty much everyone on 4chan was against

>>11206532
>He got big during the US election.
No. He first popped up after a video from october 2016, he gained some traction after appearing on Joe Rogan and Rubin, but he didnt blow up untill the interview he did with channel 4 in january 2018.

Is fame came way after the election and I really doubt /pol/ had anything to do with it as it seem they hate him just as much as radical leftists do.

>>11206568
I'm talking about his 4chan popularity not his mainstream popularity

Okay okay okay.

What year did /lit/ start?

>>11206664
Could be wrong, but it seems like from the archive that it started March 10, 2010.

>>11206664
>>11206698
this is the first post with the word "the" that is archived. It may very well be the first post on lit.

>>/lit/thread/S407872

>>11206662

>>11206711
Literally never heard him mentioned outside of /lit/

>>11206721
>If I haven't heard of him outside of /lit/ then he is obscure.

>>11206703
Shouldn't that post's number be like 000001 or something. Or how does that work?

While looking for an old post I learned that the word 'homeless' is used on this board almost every day. >>/lit/?task=search&ghost=&search_text=homeless

>>11206736
This stuff is fascinating.

>>11206736
Yeah like cuck queen and bugmen. I’ve been doing this with a pet word i made up. For weeks now i’ve been casually dropping it in conversations with my coworkers at the water cooler or their desks or meetings but no one seems to acknowledge i even said anything out of the ordinary. I’m going to keep trying for a few more months to see if it gets around. It’s a great a great word. I think people are just jealous.

>>11206733
Considering that I go to a Catholic university and that he, a Catholic intellectual, has never been mentioned, prompts me to think that he is obscure.

The first post mentioning Norm Macdonald is from 2010 and it is suggesting he should star in a Lolita adaptation. Interesting since he would go on to become a Nabokov wannabe. Maybe this poster was the man himself. He's definitely been on /lit/. But I have a hard time imagining he was such an early adopter. It's funny to imagine though.

yes, the archive doesn't go all the way back (it also has holes at other places)
that is the oldest archived post however
any oldfag here that can provide a screenshot of even ancienter history?

First instance of "sunset found her squatting"?

>>11206808
I'm on a wiki that presents a thorough-seeming history of 4chan and it says:
"January 25 - Six new image boards were added: /adv/ - Advice, /lit/ - Literature, /new/ - News, /int/ - International, /sci/ - Science & Math, and /3/ - 3DCG is brought back."

>>11206822
Oops. January 1010.

>>11206825
*2010 fuck fuck

This is the oldest post where 'pseud' was used, July 26 2010. Amusingly it's in relation to debate about the lack of apostrophe in Finnegans Wake.

There's something They don't want us to know. I bet it has something to do with Pynchon.

absolute summer newfag

I first came here when an anon known as Iranbro was looking for a copy of Kharms's Today I Wrote Nothing. After many threads, someone eventually provided him with a copy.

Does anyone know when this was? Looks like it's gone from the archive.

>>11206770
what's the word anon?

>>11206446
Can somebody look up "boipussy" for my lazy ass?

Fitting that the first archived mention of 'postmodernism' is someone demanding that someone else define it. This is its legacy.

>>/lit/thread/S439373#p439387

>>11206561
These people are abominations.

First example of "spook" I could find, in the stirner sense of the word. Before this there's hundreds of posts about some shitty speculative fiction book "Spook Country".

>>/lit/thread/S2198691

>>11206612
Found a definite Tao self promotion post. His favorite authors which no one but him would put together or lump him in with. No random /lit/ user would have compiled this list:
>>/lit/thread/S812630#p815587

>>11206844
Nevermind, found a little more info. He was Iranman not Iranbro and he actually got his book 5 years and 1 day ago: >>/lit/thread/S3589973

He posted nearly every day for months. One anon posted his version on a scanner asking if it was a good display stand, just to taunt Iranman. Iranman got his copy and was paid $500 to translate it into Farsi. That was in 2013. He hasn't been heard from since 2015.

Iranman, I hope you're doing well.

unless it's older than /lit/ this seems to be where pynchon is first called pinecone

I have this. /lit/ used to all hate Rand (this was before half the board was /pol/) so naturally there was a lot of troll threads for lulz.

Include me in the screenshot. Hi mom. Hi dad.

>>11208485
If you look at some of his lecture videos he still kind of bugs out when people open the door then leave.

>>11207757
So he was always a nutter.

>>11206455
Peterson has been around for a while. He was in Oprah magazine in the mid-2000s, taught at Harvard, and appeared on Canadian public television multiple times. He didn't pop out of nowhere

>the peterson psyop has been going on since 2012

>>11206774
You're taking the wrong courses then. Girard is very well known in Catholic intellectual spheres.

>>11207757
>he lectures in a cape
He's been videotaping his lectures since before 2013 and i've never seen this. Hilarious if true

>>11206662
None of those writers are obscure. Evola is kind of a footnote but not obscure at all, just too retarded to ever be anything besies a footnote.

>>11208472
Obviously, it was "my diary tb.h" before the filter

>>11208472

Evola is fairly obscure, I highly doubt any of us would know who he was if it wasn't for the internet. Try to imagine getting a hold one of his books before Amazon existed. You would have to go to a right-wing bookstore or have access to an interlibrary catalog

I'm picturing a red Superman-style cape, but it's way too small and only goes down to his ass

This has to be a time traveler whose only purpose was to troll peterson

Someone here has to go to UofT, right? You need to go talk to grad students or faculty and see if the cape thing is true. And if it is, it need to be sent to the media.

>>11215179
I have a feeling the poster actually did go to UofT but is just exaggerating. Surely something would come up on google if he was such an odd professor

>>11214825
>As if this isn't the future leftists want

>>11208476
haha thats great to hear.Spastic tendencies only makes his character that much more exciting. Pretty sure a lot of the well known philosophers where considered nutjobs.

About the cape thing, that is wrong. He mentioned in some talk that he did use a cape in some of his talks to demonstrate something about authority.. That made some of his students but hurt.

Yeah I watched that talk on depression as well. He really understands depression both from a clinical perspective and personal.

>>11206568

i remember the book threads that used to get made on /r9k/ before /lit/ was created. i bought a bunch of pkd books and house of leaves because of those threads. if i remember things right the reason /lit/ was created was because of those book threads and us nagging moot to make a literature board and the madman actually did it !

>>11221684
I dunno about that specifically but the announcement at the top of the page when the board was created said "Here's you're fucking book board!" so yeah, I guess some anons were bothering him about it.

also his subreddit confirms it

>>11225782
>1 poster shilling
If you search the archives a bunch you find a lot of cases of this. You look for some lesser known author and there's like six posts from 2012 with the same writing style and then no mention until one post from 2016.

>>11206446
I actually coined 'lanklet' around 2012 on /fit/, unless I'm mistaken.

>>11226915
I'm really convinced I came up with
>enjoy your gains
But I was also like 13 when browsing /fit/ around 2011-12. In any case the archives don't have everything because I used to trip and I can only find one post by me on /lit/ - I barely even posted on /lit/ back then.
